Vegetable market customers looted at parking lot

Gudimalkapur: It is been more than three months since the vegetable market of Gudimalkapur has been shifted beside the flower market but the construction of main road is still under progress. Though the market is shifted, there are some vendors who set up their shop at old market and the customers who visit both places have to pay twice the parking fees as the management claims that it is private parking.

Gudimalkapur vegetable market witnesses huge flow of customers during early hours especially from 6 am to 8 am which creates a lot of hassle for the moving traffic and visitors do not get parking space as people do not park their vehicle in proper way.

A regular customer Gopi said that when compared to old market the new market is better and spacious but there is always a parking problem because if we visit both the markets we are forced to pay parking amount at both the places.

Another customer Naga Charan said that last week, I was charged twice as I went to the old market first later I went back to the new one and I was charged for parking twice thereafter I decided to park my vehicle at the new market always and walk by if needed.
Shaik Imran a vegetable hawker said that there are many visitors between 6 am to 8 am and the new market has better facilities including dust bins, water, cement roads etc. 

He said that there are some vendors selling vegetables at the old market which is creating a problem for customers as they are not aware about the new market because of which they will have to pay parking fees twice. Tarun Kumar, who manages the parking area said that after the market is shifted beside flower market we have enough space to accommodate enough vehicles, but the road construction is leading to traffic problems in the early hours. 

He added that the construction debris is left in the middle of the road because of which the visitors park their vehicle whereever the space is available.
